Playing in front of a passionate home crowd at the Youth and Sports Palace in Pristina, the Dardanian girls produced a spectacular performance, controlling the match from start to finish and leaving their opponents with no answer.

For the first time ever, Kosovo defeated Montenegro in women's volleyball.

Before this encounter, Montenegro had won every previous meeting between the two national teams, including a 3-0 victory in 2017 and a 3-1 success in 2021. That makes Friday night’s triumph even more significant for Kosovo volleyball.

However, the team responded in the best possible way, producing a statement performance that could completely change the momentum of its campaign.

By sweeping Montenegro 3-0, Kosovo earned the maximum three points while significantly improving its set ratio, an important factor in the overall standings.

This victory also boosts Kosovo's hopes in the competition, which serves as a qualification pathway for the 2028 Women's European Volleyball Championship (EuroVolley 2028).

A Generation Full of Promise

Kosovo’s national team is built around talented players from leading domestic clubs such as KV Drita and KV Fer Volley.

Among the key names representing the national team are:

Their performance against Montenegro demonstrated that Kosovo possesses the talent and determination needed to compete at a higher European level.

A Powerful Statement

The victory sends a clear message across Europe:

Kosovo volleyball is growing rapidly, and the Dardanian women are ready to challenge anyone.

Tonight was not just a victory. Tonight was a declaration.

Bravo girls! Bravo Kosovo! 🇽🇰🏐🔥
